17. Declaration of tax residence outside Ireland This clause shall apply where the Policies being

assigned are issued by Canada Life International Assurance (Ireland) DAC.

Tax residence definition – individual An individual will be regarded as being tax resident in

Ireland for a tax year if she/he either:

• spends 183 days or more in Ireland in that tax year, or

• has a combined presence of 280 days in Ireland, taking into account the number of days spent in Ireland in that tax year together with the number of days spent in Ireland in the preceding year. Presence in a tax year by an individual of not more than 30 days in Ireland will not be reckoned for the purpose of applying the two-year test. Presence in Ireland for a day means the personal presence of an individual:

• at the end of the day (midnight) for tax years 2008 and earlier, and

• at any time during that day for tax year 2009 onwards.

Ordinary tax residence definition – individual The term ‘ordinary residence’ as distinct from

‘residence’ relates to a person’s normal pattern of life and denotes residence in a place with some degree of continuity. An individual who has been resident in Ireland for three consecutive tax years becomes ordinarily resident with effect from the commencement of the fourth tax year.

An individual who has been ordinarily resident in Ireland ceases to be ordinarily resident at the end of the third consecutive tax year in which s/he is not resident. Thus, an individual who is resident and ordinarily resident in Ireland in 2009 and departs from Ireland in that year will remain ordinarily resident up to the end of the tax year 2012.

All parties are required by the Irish Revenue Commissioners to make the following declaration set out below, which is in a format authorised by them, in order to receive payments without deduction of Irish tax.

I/We* declare that

• I/We* have read the explanation of the terms detailed in the ‘Tax residence definitions’ above.

• I am/We are* the applicant(s) in respect of which this declaration is being made.

• I am/We are* not resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland.

• I/We* hereby undertake(s) to inform the Company of any change in my/our country of residence during the life of the account/policy.

(* Delete as appropriate).

Note: Policies issued by Canada Life International Assurance (Ireland) DAC cannot be assigned to individuals resident in Ireland (for tax purposes as described above or otherwise).

Data Protection NoticeAny personal information you may provide to Canada Life International Limited (CLI) as data controller will be treated in accordance with the Isle of Man Data Protection Act (as amended)

Any personal information that you may provide to Canada Life International Assurance (Ireland) DAC as data controller will be treated in accordance with the Data Protection Acts (as amended)

(CLI, CLIAI & CLL together will be defined as ‘Canada Life’ in this notice).

By signing this form you consent to Canada Life using and sharing your personal information as set out in this notice including, without limitation, the processing of sensitive personal data.

If submitting personal information about another person, by signing this form you confirm that you have their consent to provide such information to Canada Life and for their information to be used as set out in this notice.

Using Personal InformationWe use personal information to undertake activities relating to the setting up, administration and renewal of our policies, products and services. This includes processing applications and handling any claims. For the majority of our business we will rely on the performance of our contractual arrangements with you as the legal basis for processing.

We do not use policyholder or member personal data for marketing purposes and we do not make your personal information available to third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.

The nature of our business is to provide investments, life and pensions cover, critical illness, income protection and employer-related group products. To do this we need to use the personal information provided to carry out analysis of actuarial risks (risks of gains or losses), mortality and morbidity risks and pricing. This will be carried out in accordance with the Institute & Faculty of Actuaries’ data handling protocols.

We use an underwriting engine to process some applications and quotations which will use an element of automated decision making.

Exceptionally, we may rely on our legitimate interests to process your personal data. When we do, we will demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for doing so.

For employer-related group insurance products the Data Protection Act permits appropriate information about employees to be provided by an employer to an insurer without individual consent (including details of long-term absentees, current and previous claimants, and medical underwriting decisions).

For employer-related group products the Data Protection Act permits that members may individually withdraw their consent, in those instances Canada Life will be unable to provide cover for that individual.

When medically underwriting or assessing a claim we will obtain consent from the employee.

Sharing personal informationWe share personal information only on the basis of the purposes for which it was collected. This notice is intended to illustrate the instances where data may be shared. However, we will share your data only for the limited and compatible purposes for which it was originally obtained:

• with other Canada Life group companies including those outside the European Economic Area (EEA);

• with any of our service providers, reinsurers and / or regulators;

• with other insurers and government agencies, including without limitation Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), Department of Work and Pensions (DWP);

•   in order to prevent, detect or investigate financial crime including fraud or other criminal activity, we may share your data with other companies (including private investigators), organisations (including fraud prevention agencies and databases), public bodies (including the police) and associations and credit reference agencies;

• we will not share your medical information with anyone other than yourself without your consent except as described in the next bullet point. This includes your employer, spouse, other relatives, friends or your legal or professional adviser. In some circumstances, it may be appropriate to advise your employer about your medical information, for example, to recommend alternative supportive therapy. However, we will seek your consent in such circumstances;

• for employer-related products and services only, some medical information related to underwriting decisions and non-medical information about you necessary for lawful policy and claim administration purposes will be shared with your employer;

• we will not share non-medical information concerning you with your spouse, other relatives, friends or your legal or professional adviser unless you provide your consent to us in writing;

• for insurance related products, with your own doctor or relevant medical professionals; and/or

• in any circumstances if permitted or required to do so by law or if we have your consent to do so.

International TransfersGiven the global nature of our business, we use third party suppliers and outsourced services (including cloud-based services), which can require transfers of personal information outside of the EEA. In doing so, we will ensure there are contractual arrangements in place with those organisations who have appropriate organisational and technical measures to protect your personal information.

Retention of your personal dataWe will keep your personal data only for so long as is necessary and for the purpose for which it was originally collected. In particular, for so long as there is any possibility that either you or we may wish to bring a legal claim under this insurance, or where we are required to keep your personal data due to legal or regulatory reasons.

YOUR RIGHTS AND CONTACT DETAILS OF THE INFORMATION COMMISSIONER’S OFFICE (ICO) You may have the right to require us to: • provide you with further details on the use we make of

your personal information or your special categories of data;

• provide you with a copy of the personal information that you have provided to us or which we hold;

• update any inaccuracies in the personal information we hold;

• delete any special category of data or personal information for which we no longer have lawful grounds to use;

• cease processing of your personal information that is based on consent, by withdrawing your consent to that particular processing;

Data Protection Notice (continued) • cease any processing based on legitimate interests

grounds, unless our reasons for undertaking that processing outweigh any prejudice to your data protection rights; and

• restrict how we use your personal information whilst a complaint is being investigated.

In certain circumstances, we may need to restrict the rights listed above in order to safeguard the public interest (e.g. the prevention or detection of crime), our interests (e.g. the maintenance of our legal responsibilities) and for the performance of our contract with an employer who is the policyholder for employer-related products and services.

To protect you and us from financial crime, we need to verify the identity and address of all owners, including newly appointed trustees. To assist us, we will require documents sufficient to verify the identity and address of all owners and appointed trustees. In the absence of such documents, we may use credit reference agency searches to verify the identity and address. Please note this will not affect anyone’s credit rating.
